OverviewStructural adjustment, and the neo liberal paradigm that underlies it, is the dominant economics paradigm practised by developing countries. The main purpose of the book is to rely on evidence and to go beyond rhetoric, ideology and anecdotes in assessing structural adjustment in Pakistan and the developing world generally to examine how reform can be combined with pragmatism and social justice.
